Hi,
Reading your letter really touched me. I'm 37 and have felt alone like you describe almost all my life. There are only brief periods where I feel connected to someone.
First and foremost, manage your depression first (I was first suicidal on Accutane, by the way).
After that, keep trying to reach out to people, and friendships will form. It's not always easy, but it can be done. I would try not to dish everything about depression and stuff right away. That type of emotional intensity can scare casual friends away. There will be time for sharing that type of thing down the road.
And no, not all women like *manly* men. :-) Most women I know would love a guy who's sensitive inside and can express those feelings.
I know it's hard to see right now. But being 21 with no real love relationship yet is not all that unusual. There's someone out there who will really like you, quirks and all. :-)
